Kayaking, canoeing adventure race training tips with PaddleAsia

There are many opportunities available in Phuket for honing your trail running skills. The mountains of Phuket are laced with trails of varying degrees of difficulty.

Perfecting the mechanics of the forward stroke takes time. PaddleAsia can get you pointed in the right direction. We have developed a forward stroke that incorporates the basic laws of physics with ergonomics to produce a stroke that is easy to perform, yet delivers the best results for your effort.

This stroke is the foundation for kayaking, canoeing or rafting. It integrates all of your larger torso muscles and doesn’t depend on arm strength at all. We explain why we paddle this way as we describe each phase of the stroke so you develop an understanding as well as an ability to perform this highly efficient stroke.

You may want to sign up for one of our standard kayaks school courses. They cover all of the basics as well as navigation. A CD is included in this package too. Or, you may want to try your hand at learning the Eskimo Roll. It’s crucial if you are in a whitewater river as part of your adventure race. You can be back up and paddling in a matter of seconds. Or, you can capsize and swim. You will loose a lot of valuable time if you swim… we’re talking minutes vs. seconds here.

Don’t waste you time with inefficient skills while on the water. We’ve done your homework for you. Take advantage of our expertise.

We are the only ones who do what we do!
